let's for a moment consider the economic issue OF THE FUTURE. we're spending our grandkids earnings on shit today with a promise to pay with interest sometime forward. anybody know a guy who was in congress while all this was happening? stop with the magical bernie economic mathematician nonsense.

>spending our grandkids earnings on shit today. I'm not sure that's true. College kids aren't producing anything today. What we're trying to do is to force them to fund our long (and I do mean long) cushy retirements with what they will produce later. The whole system seems to be set up right now to extract a great deal of what they will produce in the future and pull it back to the older generations. It's a promise to make them pay in the future. Well, promises can be broken, and in this case I'm almost certain will. They can say no.
